Under Edward Thorndike's 'Connectionism and Trial and Error Theory', a central concept is the 'Law of Readiness', defined as the psychological state wherein when a conduction unit is ready to conduct and is allowed to do so, it is satisfying, whereas blocking it causes annoyance. Regarding its psychological implications for student motivation, mental preparation, and scientific management of learning readiness in classroom teaching, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically valid?

Understanding Thorndike's Law of Readiness

Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness is one of the primary laws of learning in connectionism. It states that learning is effective and satisfying when the learner is mentally and physically prepared for it.

• Mental and Physical Preparation: If a learner is ready to act and does so, it brings satisfaction and strengthens the learning bond.
• Interruption Causes Annoyance: If readiness is present and action is blocked, it leads to frustration or annoyance.
• Pedagogical Implication: External force without internal readiness fails to produce permanent learning, making option 'b' the most scientifically valid statement.
